Patch 4.1.1. is alive, it's alive! IT'S ALIVE!
There weren't a lot of bugs in our latest major release, but some players experienced a crash when going back to replay the final decision point in Book Three. This has finally been fixed, and we apologise for the inconvenience.
Here are some of the major fixes in version 4.1.1:
- Fixed a crash affecting players who had to reload a Book Three save game in order to replay the final decision point before starting Book Four
- Enabled light shafts for Nvidia graphics cards on MacBooks and iMacs
- Fixed a reflection probe issue for Intel Iris graphics cards on MacBooks
- Summary screen said 'Book One' instead of 'Book Four'; this is now fixed
- Fixed a number of collision issues
- Fixed an issue where Kian could get permanently stuck in the administrator's office
- Fixed an issue where Kian could accidentally lock himself out of the world in the prison tower
- Fixed a rare issue where the player could get stuck if the camera was positioned inside NPCs
- Loading a save game in the Northlands forest could cause Crow to be rotated on top of the Elgwan: this has been fixed
- When Anna kissed Kian in chapter 8, she missed his face. She no longer misses
- Fixed an issue where players were sometimes unable to reveal their final secret to the Yaga
- Fixed some minor lip sync, footsteps and text bugs
The next patch won't be released until January, unless we find major issues with this version over the Christmas break. You can still submit bugs by pressing CTRL+B. We go through all bug reports submitted to us and we appreciate the feedback!
Book Four is now available!
Book Four includes a brand new, feature length episode of Dreamfall Chapters, along with further Unity 5 fixes and enhancements.
Version 4.0.4 includes only English voice and text. German and French subtitles will be added soon.
Please note that some players will receive a dialogue when clicking 'Start Book Four' stating that they must replay the end of Book Three by loading their last save game, either automatically or manually. This is due to changes in how story flags are handled, and will not affect all players.
Affected players will only need to replay the final scene from Book Three, before starting Book Four. We apologise in advance for this inconvenience.
We have received reports that the game crashes right after players return to Book Three to make a decision about whether or not to bring Likho along. This crash appears to be related to the Steam game overlay. We don't have a fix yet, but as soon as we do we will patch the client. The crash is random, so if you encounter this issue, please verify your game files, disable the Steam overlay, reload the save game and play the sequence again. We're sorry about this, and as soon as we know why this is happening, we'll put out an emergency fix!
Enjoy the episode, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback!
(We've made a bunch of edits to this announcement, based on the reports of crashes mentioned above.)
Episode four arrives tomorrow, watch the new trailer now!

Unity 5 version exits beta, available to all
Please note that the Mac OSX version will arrive tomorrow, and the Linux version will follow later this week or early next week.
This extensive (and huge) update includes the first three episodes of Dreamfall Chapters. The fourth episode — Book Four: Revelations — will be available as a free update as soon as it's released.
Major changes in version 3.2.9 include:
- Engine upgrade to Unity 5.2. This upgrade should improve performance and stability for most users
- Windows 64-bit version. Players with 64-bit OS and more than 3GB of RAM will experience fewer crashes and better performance. We strongly encourage Windows 32-bit users to upgrade to a 64-bit OS
- New notification system for important choices and consequences
- Numerous bug fixes and game tweaks, based on player feedback
- Enlighten support. This affects the lights and shadows in all scenes, along with material and shader fixes
- In-game bug report tool. Note that this tool may be removed in future versions of the game
Please let us know if you experience any problems with the new game engine. We expect to bring out a patch later this week or early next week.
Thanks again to all of our dedicated beta testers who helped us track down bugs and test numerous versions of the beta over the past two weeks. We owe you all a warm hug and a cold beer!
